As part of Book Week Scotland we had a dress your classroom door as a book jacket competition. We had fantastic support with 23 doors done in all. As you can see if you look at the pictures , some people had gone to a huge amount of effort. Some doors were done by teachers and some by groups of pupils. It sparked a lot of inerest with puils and staff.
You can see the winners listed below.

At last a book that most people read and everyone liked. The Snow Child is set in Alaska around 100 years ago and is the story of a settler couple who are unable to have a child and who conjure up a snow child – or do they?

As the final part of the S1 Library induction, the classes worked in groups to produce subject pathfinders on various themes. Some of the best science ones went up on the wall in the Science Dept as part of the school Science Fair happening next week.

To produce the pathfinder, the pupils worked in small groups to find some basic information plus good books and webites that would help other people who wanted to find out about the topic. They covered geology, astronomy, chemistry, photography, and inventions.
